the shoare and with the tyde of Ebbe
and neere the vessell the Love aforesayd the Master of the Rebecca or
some of the Company thereof spake to the sayd Thompson
and Company of the Love and bid them first starr board, and then imediately [?bad] them port their
helme, And the sayd Thompson being himselfe at the helme accordingly
did soe and steered as neere the shoare as possible hee could without
puting his bessell the Love on ground and then told the sayd [?Printer] that hee the sayd Thompson was as neere the shoare with his vessell which notwithstanding the sayd
vessell the Rebecca holding on her course did runne her boltspritt against
the Mayne mast and mayne sayle of the sayd shipp the Love and soe
cleered off againe without receaving any hurt at all from the Love soe farr as
this deponent being theron board the Love could or did observe, And hee
further saith that about fower or five
dayes after the premisses soe happened as before is declareed, the sayd
[?Printer] and an other man whome this deponent did then and doth beleeve to [?be]
one of his the sayd [?Printers] shipps company) came to the sayd Thompsons
house in Saint Katherines and desyred to speake with the sayd Thompson who [?was]
not then within, and hee not being within, the sayd [?Printer] told this deponent
that his sayd shipp the Rebecca and the goods in her was damaged by reason shee fell [?fowle]
on the Love and desyred this deponent to tell the sayd Thompson
thereof and desyre him the sayd Thompson to come and view yje samage done and [?this]
deponent then speakeing to the man who came with the sayd [?Printer]
asked him whether the company of the sayd shipp the Rebecca did pumpe
heer presently after her falling fowle of the Love and search her whether shee were dammaged or to that effect [?whereto]
hee answered that they did pumpe her presently after her falling fowle

the Love aforesayd to the sayd shipp Rebecca, and saith that in case
any damage was done to the sayd REbecca by her falling fowle
of the Love aforesayd in manner aforesayd, the same was and happened (in this
deponents judgement) through the carelessenes and neglect of [?the]
master and company of the Rebecca and by their comeing soe neere [?the]
shoare upon the tyde of ebb, whereas their safest way tp avoide [?XXX]
